Answer:

smooth endoplasmic reticulum

Explanation:

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum differs from the rough endoplasmic reticulum in not having ribosomes on its surface. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) extends from the rough ER and forms a network of membrane tubules. The function of the smooth ER is to serve as a site for the synthesis of lipids, fatty acids, and steroids such as estrogens and testosterone.

Enzymes for the synthesis of these diverse biomolecules are present in smooth ER. The smooth ER present in the muscle cells is called the sarcoplasmic reticulum. It stores the calcium ions which are released into the sarcoplasm of muscle cells during muscle contraction.

You work for the WWF. Write a letter to the mayor of a small farm town to explain why this town is experiencing erosion, and why
horrorfan [7]

The letter should contain concerns about the causes and ill effects of erosion.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Sir,

I am very sad to inform you that the town of Hariharanpur is suffering from continuous erosion for the last 3 years. Even after having proper knowledge about this fact, you being the mayor, are not taking any charge of this situation.

The town is situated just by the side of River Ganges which makes it's soil full of moisture. Along with the repeated deforestation and tree cutting for urbanisation, the smallest of the rain falls are also eroding a lot of soils. This can lead to severe landslides in river Ganges with severe loss of properties as well as loss of lives too.

So i request you to start embanking the river as well as to start planting new trees to save the town from getting lost under Ganges.

Thanking you,

XYZ.

In direct calorimetry, a person is placed in a large, water-insulated chamber. The chamber is kept at a constant temperature. Wh
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

Although direct calorimetry is considered to be the most precise technique for the measurement of metabolic rate, construction of such a chamber that is large enough for doing exercise physiology research (or any research for that matter) is extremely expensive and not at all mobile.

Explanation:

Direct calorimetry measures the heat production of an individual, in calories, when placed in an insulated chamber where the heat is transferred to surrounding water. This is a very accurate method of measuring energy expenditure.
